Ichiro Toda has released version 1.11 of Synth1, a free VST synthesizer instrument for Windows.
Changes in Synth1 v1.11
- Sound Engine:
- The sub oscillator was added:
- The same pitch as oscillator1 or one octave under can be selected.
- When OSC1 is eight multiple unison, the sub-oscillator becomes similar, too.
- FM modulation also influences the sub-oscillator as well as OSC1.
- The sub-oscillator doesn’t influence the AM modulation.
- When the amount of the sub-oscillator is raised, the entire volume is automatically adjusted not to grow.
- The wave pulse of the sub-oscillator always becomes a square wave regardless of a pulse width parameter.
- The saw wave was changed from rising type to the descent type:
- To operate the sub-oscillator effectively, it changed.
- The amplitude value by 0 phases changed from 0 to +1.
- The accuracy of the envelope of Amplifier has been improved.
- The limiter algorithm of Filter is changed, and the noise has been improved only a little.
- The performance of OSC1 at eight unisons has been improved a little.
- The sub oscillator was added:
- System requirements:
- It did not operate in CPU that did not support SSE2:
- It seems to cause the expansion of the source code when keeping supporting it any further. To our regret, it was assumed operation off the subject.
- The error message is displayed in the upper part of the panel when operating with CPU that doesn’t correspond, and the sound is not generated.
- It did not operate in CPU that did not support SSE2:
- Small improvement and change of GUI:
- A part of objection of the parameter name was corrected.
- The patch selection window etc. were shut with the escape key.
- Bug Fixes:
- Problem of operation of sustaining pedal.
- Problem that old FM setting value remained at voice trigger.
- Problem that loudness at unison has changed in old version.
- Problem that gain knob of Amplifier did not occasionally work.
- Problem that patch change with program change spin button was not made good after it writes it in another bank.
- Problem with thing that Synth1 window flickers according to environment.
- Problem that position where parameter selection window etc. are displayed does clip to primary monitor in multi-monitor environment.
Synth1 is available to download as a freeware VST instrument plug-in for Windows PC.
